From Gethsemani Abbey
THE POETRY OF A SOUL:
A MONK'S STORY
The Spiritual Journey
of Fr. Matthew Kelty
Matthew Kelty is a Trappist monk, a member of a religious group known for silence, prayer, labor and isolation from the world. Aged 89 when this DVD was made, Matthew still works hard and certainly prays, but he also talks a lot, laughs just as much, and as the guest house chaplain at the Abbey of Gethsemani, is very much in touch with the world. In his long life he has been a hermit, a lover of motorcycles, Thomas Merton's confessor, a missionary and most importantly a man seeking to grow ever deeper in his relationship with God.
This program looks at the spiritual journey of Matthew Kelty and the wisdom he has gained along the way. His words, coupled with remarkable scenes of monastic life, inspire, inform and enlighten.
Produced by Morgan Atkinson, who is known for his award-winning work on life at Gethsemani.

GETHSEMANI DVD
Explore life at the Abbey of Gethsemani,
one of the best-known monasteries in the world.
While some of Gethsemani's acclaim comes from being the home of the renowned spiritual master Thomas Merton, there is much more to the rural Kentucky monastery than the legacy of one man.
Granted unprecedented access, the filmmakers spent almost two years documenting life at Gethsemani. The goal was to capture the essence of the monastic life, as Merton lived it, and as it is lived today by his Trappist brothers.
